A Prayer for Postponing the Moving

When I was on 3rd grade elem., dad began to be assigned to work out of town. After several months, he travelled to work and back home by train, then he said that our family would move at the end of my 3rd grade school year and live there.

But, I didn’t want to leave my hometown. I prayed in my heart, “LORD JESUS, please cancel dad’s moving plan or at least postpone it until I am in 6th grade”.

A few months later, there was a new policy of our Ministry of Education and Culture, which increased (only) that school year period from 1 to 1.5 years for all levels of education.

I was so happy when dad postponed our moving because the new school only accepted new students in the new school year.

But 6 months seemed to go by so fast, so I kept praying the same prayer in my heart. Then the next year, in June, dad postponed it again for a year.

We just moved to the current town I live in, at the end of my 4th grade school year and no longer then, I have considered this place as my hometown.

ABBA JESUS, YOU know what the best is for us. YOU postponed our moving because YOU knew my heart and YOU also knew our house there always got flooded even if it's just a light rain (We once fled to grandma's house because the flood was about 40 cm high). In here, we never experience flood. THANKS JESUS!

Now to HIM who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the POWER that works within us ~ Eph 3:20 NASB
